HELSINKI  Finland has named 14 NHL players, led by Anaheim Mighty
Ducks' top scorer, Teemu Selanne, to its ice hockey squad for the Olympics in
Nagano.

"It will be the toughest ice hockey tournament of all times," head coach Hannu
Aravirta said. "Looking at the names, our team is the best Finnish side ever on
ice. Our official target is to win a medal. This is realistic."

Canada, Russia, the Czech Republic, the United States, Sweden and Finland are
favorites for medals at Nagano.

"We will play good ice hockey. This team has skill, strength and the special
situation ability needed," Aravirta said.

Finnish women are among the favorites for gold at Nagano, where women's ice
hockey makes its debut.
